Best meals to make in your slow-cooker?

Hey all,

Looking to share some meal ideas and branch out a bit. Just made chicken stew in my slow cooker and it was amazing. I usually make chilli or curry so I don't really make a variety of things...

Looking for some ideas though!

Slow cookers are perfect for pulled pork! You can make so many different things with pulled pork as well, like fajitas, enchiladas and chilli as well!

Thanks for the idea! I've just seen a new sauce recipe I could use. Would i have to seal the meatballs first and then throw them in?

Yeah. You need to fry them/oven them first to seal it (mix it with egg as well to keep it together) then put them into the slow cooker with the sauce. Also, I would add some mozzarella in the middle of the meatballs so it melts when you cut into it! Mmm..
